Wall Street never produced a
statesman or a patriot. .
-o-
- Good common- horse sense will
beat such statesmanship as we
haye now.
Z : It is strange , tHat so, many men
must be reduced to poverty before
they will become patriotic.
The United States is taking the
gold cure, but England is taking
the gold. " Howdo you like it?

What this country needs is
more money and a system that
will keep it in circulation.
; .' . O -
- James A. Garfield once said
".there will never be a revolution
in' this country until the people
"lose faith in the ballot, box. "
o
The birds know that what this
-country needs is more money in
circulation, and. that congress can
put it there if it chooses to do so.
o
The two greatest nuisances in
" this country are the millionaire
and the tramp. The first is the
cause and the other the effect.
If the government can make
money why does it borrow money ?
If it can't make money who can?
Don't break your neck trying' to
answer.
o
Even President Lincoln in 1862
mistrusted the gold bugs. Speaking
of the single gold standard men,
he said, "I wish every one of them
had his devilish head shot off."
o
People may listen to Democrats,
Republicans and Third party fel
lows make speeches from now un
til doom's day, but unless they
try to see what is, wrong and study
more about the workings of the
government the country will keep
going to the devil just the same.
o
Don't you democrats want to
i give vour partv just one. more
chance? Come now, ain't vou
proud of the record made in the
last two years? Didn't itrdo up
the tariff, give the people free sil
ver, tear up trusts, raise prices
and bring a hurricane of prosper
ity, now didn't it?

The main question before the
American people today is whether
the citizen or the dollar shall rule
this country.
The heroes of 1776 did not wait
for an international agreement' be
fore they issued their Declaration
of Independence.
The only difference; between a
gold bug and a bed bug is the size
and shape- the habits and char
acteristics are about the same. ,
o
We do mot blame the women for
wanting to vote. The men have
made such a miserable failure of
it that it is a wonder the horses
do not want to vote. . '

France has a money sysem of

The United States allows herself
dictated to by England and she
pays dear for the whistle. .

The cause of hard times in the
'''State of Wilkes" and elsewhere
is the subject wTith many people.
Some attribute it all to laziness
and extravagance others want to
saddle the whole load upon the
saddle of Uncle Sam, while others,
yet, say it's a combination of caus
es. But these are all merely the
ideas of theorists.
Maby the real cause of this cris
is is due to the fact that we have
had no clock peddlers through our
country until recently, necessitat
ing us to buy cheap one-day clocks
from' our country merchants there
by causing us to fool away a large
part of our time winding up these
waterbery time killers.
Now we've got a chance to take
one step towards improvement.
Just let each farmer buy one of
these fine eight-day clpcks from a
peddler and save (six windings per
week: The 're very cheap not
won't take but two or three
milchcows or an old plug horse.
o '
It has been proclaimed all over
the country that the general as
sembly of North Carolina adjourn
ed as a mark of respect to Fred
Douglas and refused to adjourn
in honor of Washington and Lee.
Language strong enough to prop
erly condemn such a lie should
not be seen in print.
1 There is on record of .the house
journal a resolution providing that
when they adjourn on a certain
day it be as a mark of respect to
Fred Douglas. This resolution
was offered by a negro and was
voted -for by all parties. Both
senate and house adjourned
promptly in honor of both Wash
ington and Lee, the house being
in session less than twenty min
utes on Lee's birth dav.
o
If a poor man sells a cake of
wax or pound of butter counter
feited in any way he is yanked up
and tried for a grave crime ; but a
wealthy manufacturer can coun
terfeit a shoe or boot with paper,
insoles, heels and counters ancfi
all is well. Fine law isn't it?
o
, But isn't salt cheap? Just think
about it! 1251b bags for75 cents!
The Dems said they'd fetch- 'er
down, and haint they done it ?
o
The 53rd congress" promised,
pulled the people's leg and pe
tered. o
There are not many babies
being named Grover just now.
o
It is better to be a rich man's
poodle dog than a -poor man's
child in this country: That meas
ures the hight of our civilization;
o
Cleveland don't want any extra
session. His last experience is
enough on that line, besides what
does he need with a congress? -He,
is the government. -
